Abstract
- which were diarrhea (5.4%/0%), rash (2.7%/20.0%), fatigue (8.1%/0%), headache (5.4%/5.7%), acne/dermatitis acneiform (0%/5.7%) and hypophosphatemia (0%/ 5.7%). Two pts on A+C (5.7%) had G4 DRAEs (hypomagnesaemia, 1 pt; rash, 1 pt). There were no G5 DRAEs. PK parameters, which did not identify a clinically relevant effect of A on exposure to C, or vice versa, will be presented. Conclusions: Sequential EGFR blockade with A then A+C had an acceptable safety profile and was effective, achieving responses and DC in pts with EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC with acquired resistance to E/G. Despite a low ORR, sequential use of A+C was associated with a median PFS of 2.7 months after progression on A, and may offer an alternate, more tolerable approach for treating such pts.
